• The use of two external monitors on XPS L702X

  Hello

  I have laptop Dell XPS L702X and you want to connect two monitors external to it when I'm at my desk.  The laptop has a HDMI and display Port.  Could someone tell me 1) if it is possible to connect two external monitors to my laptop.  I do not know if this is supported.  (2) if it is supported what would be the best way to do it.  Here are some of my thoughts, but I don't know if they will work

  (1) port HDMI to a monitor and Display Port to the other monitor.  It will even work?  The monitors will look the same?

  (2) HDMI to DVI Splitter.  This seems reasonable but it will reflect the entire screen or I will be able to extend the desktop.  I don't want to see the same thing on both monitors.  Will also be this gradient.  I was kind of hoping it Full HD that I don't need absolutely.

  (3) using the HDMI then gettting and external USB video card.  I'd rather not but if I have to I guess I do.

  Thanks for your thoughts and please add more options than what I have just listed.   I want to find the optimal solution.

  Well I thought about it.  Option #1 work.  You can connect two monitors to the Dell XPS L702X.  In fact, I have three.

  (1) the computer screen

  (2) monitor 1 using the HDMI output on laptop to the HDMI input on the monitor

  (3) 2 of Montor output using Mini Display Port to VGA input on screen (using a Mini Display Port to VGA cable) I see these cables everywhere on the internet, but they all say to use with Mac.  I call the Dell technical support and they managed to send me the right cable for use with Dell.  Others may work, however, I'm not sure.  It is unfortunate that Dell doesn't have a Mini Display Port to DVI - D.  I want conversion back VGA is going back in time.  The display seems perfect for a regular job but don't know about the movies or games.

  Complaints to Dell if someone he cares

  (1) I called your sales for the purchase of monitors line and they told me wrong information on how to connect monitors and those to buy.  First, they said I had to buy a usb docking station.  The station costs around $100 and it would very definitely degrade the display.  I have the hdmi and display port of course so I want to use them.  When I pressed on this they then tried to get to buy me and switch hdmi for over $ 150.  I personally do not think it will work because I want to extend my screen do not have the same result on both.  Maybe it would work well, they seem not confident even though I was told it would work.  Also, I didn't drop $150 extra.  So I don't end up buy monitors dell of Dell because of the wrong information.  Oh they also told me I wouldn't be able to have 3 views using my video card and that I would need an external. (Evil)  Overall that's mad and I lost a lot of time trying to do a simple task of connecting monitors.

  (2) I finally decided to call Dell technical support.  I should have done this earlier, but every time I call the technical support they want me to pay.  Fortunately I get assistance for a new computer.  I'm starting to feel better Dell again.  Technical support told me that I could connect two monitors using HDMI and Display Port.   They me even a cable for the display port.  OK, I'm getting happier.  However, technical support also told me that I couldn't use 3 screens and that I would need an external video card.  They tried to repel the horribly rated usb docking station that they sell.  In all of the right specifications mine but reviews everyone has problems.  Anyway they Support went above and beyond (and I was not screaming or complain to them) that they actually had a technician out the cable.  Now, it is an exaggeration, but was really nice, because I was not happy with Dell for the moment.  I hooked the two monitors and extended my screen and to my surprise, all three screens worked.  Yahoo!  So happy.

  It was a frustrating race with bad information throughout, but ultimately, I'm happy.  I hope that you don't have to go through my frustration and make just the satisfaction of having 3 screens.

  The ability to make this unusual configuration would be determined by the drivers & software from the USB to VGA in question.

• Which runs the latest version of Firefox compatible with a MacBook Pro with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OSX 10.5.8?

  I keep says my browser needs updating and it does not work on some Web sites. I had bad experiences in the past trying to update to Apple's OS and Firefox due to compatibility issues. I guess I could go to Safari, but I have been using Firefox for many years and prefer to stick to what I know.

  Firefox 16.0.2 was the last to work on the old Mac OSX 10.5.x as Firefox 17.0 abreast demanded that OSX 10.6 +.

• How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

  I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

  Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

• How can I keep IE and FireFox Favorites in local sync to my PC only, without the use of an external server or import/export?

  FireFox Sync is not an option, because the use of an external server is not allowed.
  Use of third-party modules is not really an option.
  Import/export is inefficient because it is not put them in the same exact place in every browser.

  I am happy to be able to use the same favorites/bookmarks file if it is an option.

  Thank you

  You do not have.

  Sorry, IE and Firefox use different methods of storage Favorites / Bookmarks to data that are not compatible with the other program.

• Lightroom Workflow with 2 portable external drives and old Macbook Pro?

  I am considering buying two portable external drives 2 to USB 3.0 WD for use with Lightroom.  I save the original photos on the external hard drive, an and save backups of these photos on external hard drive 2.    I have a laptop MacBook Pro older (early 2011) and understand that even if USB 3.0, as my laptop drives will always use only 2.0 because of his age and will be more slow, but still OK in general.  This will be too slow to use Lightroom for my laptop to access photos that are on the external hard drive #1 for editing?  For reasons of speed, to the seller for external drives has suggested that I have first save my photos on my laptop computer, edit them there using lightroom and then then save original photos of external drive (as the teacher) and two external drive (as backup).  He then suggested that I delete photos from my laptop to keep storage here low.  That looks like it would defeat the purpose of Lightroom, and I would say even not sure if links with my changes would remain unchanged.  (I'm new to Lightroom).  The seller said that he was not a user of Lightroom.   Please advise on an appropriate workflow to edit, save, and back up effectively with an older MacBook Pro laptop.

  I worked with images on an external hard drive in the past and have never experienced performance problems in doing so. You can keep your catalog on the external drive as well. In this way, the hard drive can be moved from one computer to another if necessary.

  Animated images from your hard drive of the laptop on the external drive will not lose the settings because all settings are stored in the catalog. If you do all your withdraw in Lightroom and then the program keep track where the images and all settings are retained. But unless you are experiencing a kind of performance achieved by working with your images on an external drive, I do not think that there is no advantage in editing and then get out them externally.

• I can't sync my iPhone 4S with my Macbook Pro more. It became a problem after installing the latest update.

  A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my iPhone version 9.2 and iTunes on my Macbook Pro version 11.4, and now I can't get my iPhone to sync with my Macbook Pro. Whenever I connect the two devices, I get an error message that says: "the 'IPhone of John' iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. "

  I tried a lot of things, starting with resets hard and finally erase all data and settings of my phone, but without success. I would use an iTunes backup, but he refuses to communicate with my iPhone.

  Is anyone familiar with this problem? Thanks for your time.

  You you make sure that you run version 12.x iTunes on your Mac? If your OS x cannot run iTunes 12, you cannot synchronize your phone more set to update to iOS 9.x

• HP Envy 23 display: no sound: Macbook Pro (retina) with HP monitor

  I just got a HP Envy 23 monitor to use with my Macbook Pro of retina and so far it has been a serious struggle. The problem, I'm focusing on today is healthy. The monitor has a headphones Jack Beats Audio. Headphones are connected but my Macbook claims 'the selected device has no exit controls' and there is no sound at all. The monitor and the laptop are connected via an HDMI cable. What is the problem? I don't want to return to the screen, but it seems that I could roll up to spend hundreds of dollars on cables and Adaptateures to find the right combination to get a clear picture and sound. Ugh.

  Thank you for any help or advice.

  Here is the manual for a HP ENVY 23 IPS monitor, which may be the one in question or just a similar but reading of the record, I believe that there can be no speakers.  By reading the description, it could lead the user to assume there are speakers: "HP ENVY 23 23 inch IPS LED Backlit Monitor with Beats Audio" but it must just be a thing of audio processing.

• AI CS5 keyboard shortcuts do not work. I restarted and have no other problem with my MacBook Pro. What is the problem?

  AI CS5 keyboard shortcuts do not work. I restarted and have no other problem with my MacBook Pro. What is the problem?

  Bill,

  The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

  If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

  Even worse, you can:

  (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.
